Coming Back!

A slow, hot wind emanates from the sun itself, blowing the solar rays with its fiery breath. Marco Polo creates a sculpture of dramatic beauty. The freeform iron silhouette is centered by a mystical face of hand-painted ceramic. Includes a hook at the back for hanging.

"Love This Sun Face!"

This metal art sun face has been on my wall in our living area with several others I purchased from Novica. Still love it and get comments on the scultured face and rays around the face. As always, I was impressed with the attention and care on how my purchases have been prepared for shipment and enjoy the personal note cards from each individual artist.

"All my designs...arise from my imagination, from dreams, or whatever comes to mind as I begin to work with the metal."

"Hi, My name is Marco Polo Serrano. Yes, believe it or not, my name is really Marco Polo! I was born in a small artisan town surrounded by handicrafts, as most of my family are artisans. By the age of 13 I had a job in a workshop that made artistic ironwork, and in this way I helped pay for my schooling.

"When I was 18, I quit working to concentrate on my studies. I got married, and my wife is also from a family of artisans.

"When I was 23, she and I decided to open our own workshop with a different design concept, utilizing a metal cutter known as a plasma. I began to work with it, cutting perforated silhouettes from sheet metal. The shapes are cut freehand, and we give them form and texture with a hammer and other tools that I've made myself to create capricious designs. I apply an oxidized finish and protect each piece with a coat of lacquer.

"In this way, a piece of metal is transformed into a decorative accessory – sometimes rustic, other times modern. All my designs are crafted in my own workshop. They arise from my imagination, from dreams, or whatever comes to mind as I begin to work with the metal."

Just received the armadillo I ordered. It's nicely designed and well made. Unfortunately the bright orange colour came as a surprise. I was expecting a more subtle colour.

I have collected Suns for years-this is a new favorite!
